Shadows In Durango

Chapter 32

Chapter 32

*****Sofia's POV*****

Placing my money in an envelope for safe keeping, I smile at what I had walked away from the bar with last night... $1,486!

Vincent as promised had rewarded me generously on top of this week's pay saying that despite nearly dissecting my own thumb on top of nearly bursting out of my dress in front of the men, that I had done a good job. In total, with tips and all, I had managed to bring in close to $1,600 this week alone which was more than enough to cover next month's rent which was the main concern! Continuing this way, I would be able to save up and find a better place to live somewhere else in town: somewhere I wouldn't be ashamed of.

Somewhere with better neighbours and decent furniture!

By the end of last night, Vincent had seemed pleased with how things had went with the men he was speaking to, as I all but smiled and remained quiet listening to him rabble since I was tired and just wanted to head home. Daryl had given me back my apartment keys and backpack that I had left in his car and after that, I asked him to give me some space to think over everything he had said.

It made no sense, why Vincent would lie and tell him we already kissed when we hadn't... well not by that point of the night anyway!

I also didn't think that Daryl's kiss with that girl was totally innocent either, not when they had a history together.

I grumble, placing the money filled envelope back in to the kitchen drawer.

It was Sunday today, and I had no plans which made me sigh.

I wondered if I would be able to find Emma's place on my own with remembering her address from when she had told Vincent it yesterday.

I wasn't sure how I would manage to walk there though, unless I could ask a local to guide me on what bus I could hop on to take me closer?

Deciding to try my luck, I take twenty five dollars out with me along with some change for the bus, locking up my apartment and skipping my way down the stairs.
